This exquisite flower shop takes your breath away the moment you walk in the door. An abundance of flowers are displayed casually in old jugs, buckets, glass jars and even milk bottles. The artless containers serve in fact to draw the eye to the extraordinary artistry displayed in the bunches made up in the very personal style of the owner, Victoria Brotherson (at her happiest when arranging flowers for parties in people’s houses). Old-fashioned and traditional country garden flowers are plentiful, including nodding peonies, and tall sticks of hollyhocks and delphiniums. Highly recommended

This is the very best place to buy flowers in London – the staff
are all super helpful, and really good about putting together a bouquet per whatever
specifications I may have that day. I normally say to them that I want to spend
around £25 and I like blue and purple flowers, and they just create this
beautiful masterpiece. We’ve also found that their bouquets last for at least a
week and half, and sometimes up to 2 weeks – so it’s really good value for
money vs. spending £20 at Waitrose and them dying a week later. I would highly
recommend this place!

My boyfriend spent a ridiculous amount of money on flowers from Scarlet & Violet for Valentine's Day. They arrived in water and I immediately arranged them in a vase, but just over two days later, the roses are already crispy and the peonies have not bloomed, just wilted. To add to it, the arrangement was almost entirely foliage. I understand that Valentine's Day is an expensive time to buy flowers but this is a p*ss take.
